Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Architectural Monograph on a Country Church and Sunday School Building With the Minister's Residence, to Be Built of White Pine: Competitive Drawings, With Report of the Jury of Architects Problem: A Church building proper, to seat approximately 350, and to contain a gallery large enough to accommodate a double quartette. This gallery may be at either end of the auditorium. Convenient to the Choir Gallery, a Choir Practice Room, with coat room and toilets for men and women. A Minister's Room, 150 square feet, should adjoin the Chancel and be provided with coat closet and toilet. A Sunday-school Building directly connected with the Church, but not necessarily arranged to open into it. Main Auditorium to seat approximately 225, with stage suitable for simple entertainments. Eight classrooms, 100 square feet each, will be needed for the various grades of the Sunday-school. These may be partitioned from the main seating space by curtains or by folding screens, or may be in separate rooms. In addition to this, a Kindergarten, 350 square feet, with a sunny exposure; a room of approximately the same size, which may be used both as a Men's Bible Class Room and as a Parish Parlor. Toilets and coat rooms for men and women.' A Kitchen and Pantry, 800 square feet, connected with the Auditorium. A Manse, or residence for the minister, to contain, on the ground floor, Living-room, Study, Dining-room, Kitchen, and Pantry. On the second floor, four Bedrooms and two Baths. The attic shall be unfinished, but should be large enough for one Bedroom and Bath and a small Store-room. A one-car Garage. All the outside finish for the three buildings, including siding and corner boards, window-sash, frames and casings, outside blinds, all' exposed porch and balcony lumber, cornice boards, brackets, ornaments, mouldings, etc., not including shingles, is to be of White Pine. The ancient burial-ground at the corner of the property, although not now in use, should not be disturbed; and the competitor is requested to spare as many of the fine elms and white pines as possible. Accommodations for automobiles should be provided at the rear of the lot. As the site is an important one and the church the principal one in the village, it is suggested that a tower, with or without a spire, be incorporated in the design.
